PBS NewsHour nabs Montanaro from NBC

PBS NewsHour has hired NBC News's Domenico Montanaro to serve as political editor and senior producer, the show announced Wednesday.

Montanaro, who is currently deputy political editor at NBC News, takes the place of Christina Bellantoni who left PBS in December to become editor-in-chief of Roll Call.

"Domenico's versatility with both television and digital reporting, and his experience supervising a staff of multimedia reporter producers make him a particularly good fit with NewsHour's political unit,” Linda Winslow, executive producer for PBS NewsHour said in a statement.

Correction: An earlier version of this post incorrectly stated when Bellantoni left PBS. She left in December.
